Down the right side, there is play-by-play. You can pick any quarter and move the side bar to move up or down. At the top are all the other games playing that night. You can pick any one of the games at the top and switch over to it.

Okay I guess. Anxious for all of this to be over. Long week this week, testing, pre-op, etc. Then the week of waiting. If I hadn't gone thru so much last year I wouldn't be quite this nervous. There is so much going on, the Lupus, all the infections. So it will be a long wait. I am trying to stay upbeat though.

If these guys would start playing better it would give me something to look forward to. They kept me going for three months last year!!

Lately, the Celtics have gotten suckered over and again when an opponent drives under the basket and behind the backboard. They go to double him, even thought he has no shot possibility and is bound to pass it out.

This team has assisted on only 39% of its made field goals. They obviously have no confidence in their passing game, and with good reason. They don't know how to create passing lanes. They don't pay any attention to the fact that—in the absence of a bona fide point guard, you create many more open shots by passing than by dribbling.

Dribbling just attracts attention and limits your options. So, by free-lancing all over the place, these guys are making a mockery of the Celtics offensive system by constantly driving into traffic or shooting prayers from outside.

I can't think of any way the game could be scripted for the Celtics to to do a better job of handing the game to the Griz.

I'm here Sam-I am a sucker for punishment. DJ White? Alright, just how did this happen. I went away, but couldn't stand it and turned them back on and they are only down 4. What the heck happened????? And will those guys please get away from that instant replay machine, they are driving me crazy!!!!
